Do note that I used the word 'succeed' as do most to mean financially rewarding. Insofar as that isn't what you intend, that statement is more or less false. I consider myself quite successful on Hive because I have no financial metric whatsoever. I do not use Hive tokens as money. I bend nails and crawl around under rotting houses for a living. I come to Hive to speak freely about political realities, mostly about free speech and sovereignty dependent on it. As a result I attain well some goals I have, the foremost of which is to be criticized when I am wrong so that I can stop being wrong.

Insofar as your goals aren't financial in nature, my comment regarding your success depending on an oligarchy controlling a plutocracy is irrelevant. Your stated goal I have read, above and at the link you shared with me earlier, of providing a tool for Hive users to livestream their content with, seems already to have succeeded, because AFAICT, Hivestreams.live is a good tool to do that with. I confess that I am a poor judge of such tools, however, because I do not produce video. I am very frustrated that I can only link to videos, and cannot share snippets of video because I do not have any account that enables me to post video to the front end Peakd, because Peakd doesn't enable embedding any video except Youtool - which I would prefer to never again use, because they are the creepiest of creepy stalkers and the most censorious of censors - or 3Speak, which is not often a source of the vast majority of video I would link, and I have no intention of learning such a complex mechanism to make money posting videos because I have no interest in making money from posting videos.

I would use video to provide evidence in support of my theses, but it would be video others produced and made available for that purpose. I used to be a computer enthusiast back in the 80s, but I am no longer desirous of such hobby. If I could post videos in support of my posts easily I would be willing to tolerate a very gentle learning curve, but at my age my health and burgeoning frailty is becoming an ever steeper and more onerous learning curve I am dependent on surmounting, leaving ever less of my attention available for career changes and new hobbies.

I can froth at the mouth just fine via text, and have managed to learn to post pics on Peakd with proper attribution. Adding video to that would be nice, if I could do the same as I do with pics, and post others' work with proper attribution. That doesn't sound like livestreaming to me, so Hivestreams.live appears to be made for a different demographic than me. That's as applicable as my criticism and feedback can be to your project, and you're quite welcome to it. I do sincerely wish you great success in the endeavor and by the metric you have stated. I too am here on Hive after seven years, and not for money, but the community I have found and that kindly pare away my misunderstanding, and remnants of hope their definitions of success may yet come to fruition.
